Any time you like!

${if eq{$sender_address}{$local_part@$domain}{yes}{no}}

No, it spawns several recipients, not several messages.

I don't think you quite understand how aliasing works. It adds a new set
of recipients to those that are already there, and then marks the
original recpient 'done'. Each new recipient is then processed
independently. You could easily have

trash:
driver = smartuser
new_address = :blackhole:
condition = ${if eq{$sender_address}{$local_part@$domain}{yes}{no}}

but that would thrown away any message from a user to her/himself - not
just those that came via an alias.
